Daming Lake
Located in the northeast of the central part of Ji'nan, north of the ancient city, the beautiful Daming Lake (daming hu), covering an area of 46 hectares, is scattered with temples and teahouses.
Water from many springs, including the Pearl Spring, the Washing Ying Spring and the Prince's Residence Pool, converge in Daming Lake, and the water here neither rises substantially during rainy days, nor dries in drought. Willow trees planted along the shore and 40 hectares of lotus flowers provide additional color, while it is considered a treat to watch the autumn moonlit reflection of the Thousand Buddha Mountain in the lake's lapping waters. The best scenic spots of the Daming Lake Park are one pavilion (the North End Pavilion), two gardens (the Xia Garden and Autumn Willow Garden), four ancestral temples (the Jiaxuan Temple, Tiegong Temple, Nanfeng Temple and Spring Gathering Temple), and ten pavilions.
